I don't have a negative feeling about police officers at all. I like that they are out there doing what they do, and I feel better knowing that they are on the beat. My heart lurches every time I see one while driving (even when I'm not doing anything wrong), but that's no real problem.

I believe that there are far more good officers than poor.

But I would also feel very weird not stopping for an officer who requested (good officer) that I stop. Even at an inconvenience to myself. I'd feel nervous if I didn't stop. Then again, that may have something to do with my habit of running whilst carrying a television set under my arm. Wink

I've been stopped more times than I can count. Most of the time, it's well meaning police officers that know me and are just making sure I'm okay. Others give me a ton of hassle because of the times I run (before school, 4:30 or 5:30 am or after I finish homework at 11pm). I just prefer to think that they have my best interests in mind, and that they are just doing their jobs.
